The Multiverse Network, Inc. was an American startup company creating a network and platform for Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) and 3D virtual worlds. Multiverse's stated aim was to lower the barrier of entry for development teams by providing a low-cost software platform for online game and virtual world development. In late 2011, Multiverse closed from lack of profits, releasing the source code to The Multiverse Foundation, a non-profit group of volunteers who are presently updating the Platform.
